General Info

Learn Piano! I'm a classically-trained and jazz-trained pianist and piano teacher serving the Baltimore Metropolitan region. I teach piano out of my home in the Lutherville-Timonium area of Baltimore County, Maryland. I have a Bachelor's degree in Music Education. I began learning piano at the age of eight and continued through high school, college, and beyond. My classical piano training was from world-renowned Filipino pianist, Reynaldo Reyes, who won numerous piano competitions throughout the world, toured, made recordings, and taught extensively throughout his life. My jazz piano training was from the late Robert Fields, who also toured extensively, made recordings and performed with Johnny Carson and Engelbert Humperdinck. I've been performing professionally in the Baltimore area for over 25 years, and have performed at such venues as the Baltimore Marriott Waterfront, the Four Seasons Hotel, the Towson Sheraton, the Gramercy Mansion, Antrim 1844, Martin's Valley Mansion, The Cloisters as well as numerous retirement communities and nursing homes. I've also performed in musicals, as well as in the recording studio. My approach to piano instruction goes well beyond playing the right notes at the right time. My goal is that each student grow as a musician and be able to craft music which is, in fact, musical, allowing for both the intent of the composer to be present and clear as well as the student’s individual artistry. Proper technique & posture are brought into the picture, setting up the student for long-term success. We will also incorporate the use of dynamics, phrasing and pedaling into the music as well as sight-reading, music theory, music history, and improvisation into the lessons. I prepare for my students' lessons and individually keep track of their progress. Communication with parents concerning the progress of the child student is ongoing. Being that, as mentioned, I was fortunate enough to have separate teachers for both classical piano and jazz, I'm able to offer both classical and jazz lessons, from beginner to advanced. If you're interested in taking piano lessons with me, please contact me. Pricing, as well as my studio policy, are available on my website. I look forward to hearing from you and assisting you in learning to play this wonderful instrument or adding music to make your upcoming event complete.
